The timber poles to support the house came yesterday and are going in already after a week or two delay in getting them. They also cleared the entrance to our plot from the road today so we've now got a sandy driveway! They've also started on our extremely wide braai and storage shed underneath. 

It's now starting to look like a house especially now the driveway is cleared and we're getting very excited! Looking forward to the next floor starting now..

Well the bricks are now nearly finished. The garage is much higher than we thought it was going to be which is good as hopefully we'll get a better view from the top floor than we anticipated.
Once the brickwork is finished the next floor of timber will begin.  It's very strange standing in the garage and looking out but it's now starting to feel like a house.
